Open Nordic Conference June 19-20

Swedes, Norwegians, Danes and Finns, it's time to flex your open source muscle. The Open Nordic Conference is happening in Norway on June 19-20. Brought to you by a formidable team consisting of eZ Systems, ICT Norwary, National Center for Open Source, and ICT Grenland, the Open Nordic will actually be three different, but related conferences running in parallel. They're all related to open source and promoting the use of free software -- something we can definitely vouch for. The three conferences are:
* Open Nordic Conference - Open Source Software and the use of open standards.
* eZ Conference & Awards - The eZ Ecosystem and Enterprise Content Management.
* Open Nordic Mobile - Developing Open Source business with mobile solutions.
The Open Nordic Conference is aimed at anyone who is a member of the eZ Ecosystem, works with free and/or open software, or is involved in the telecom market. Conference Speakers The conference has been known to feature keynotes by top innovators and experts in the field. Previous speakers have included Rasmus Lerdorf (known as the "father" of PHP"), David Axmark (Co-Founder of MySQL), and Aleksander Farstad (CEO of eZ Systems).
